“Just talked to Ce. They are on the way to meet xxx. It appears to have been an electrical short. She said she could use clothing for herself, esp. tenny shoes size 8 1/2. Also any dog supplies, medications, kennels, etc. Both of their dogs are older Boston Terriers. They need to wait and see what they will do about living quarters before getting anything else. Thank you all so much for your love and friendship. Those are worth more in this world than anything money can buy.”
So clothes, animal supplies and gift cards are the most helpful right now. I do believe that both her and her husband were able to get out their personal carry pieces, but all the ammo went up.
Thank you all so very, very much for your help, thoughts and prayers!!!
UPDATE…here is the best address to use for sending your generous donations..
.P.O. Box 609 Greenville TX 75403
I have seen the house…speechless at the total devastation.
Here is a message left by Ce in the comments. I wanted to post it here for those that might not read them…
Hi everyone
First I want to thank everyone for the outpouring of prayers and support. I feel so very blessed that my family was able to get out of the house with no injuries. We did loose the fish 
but my husband (evcrawfish aka Mark), my boys Walt, Jake, and Zac were able to get out along with our two Boston Terriers Maggie and Anna.
I have provided AGirl my PO Box and she will be providing it shortly I’m sure. I’ve already revived clothes for myself and the boys and I purchased a few necessities for the hubby today (against his will! He wanted only stuff for me and the boys).
I think what breaks my heart the most of things we lost was the wedding band my husband received from his grandpa as a heirloom, my diamond, and our firearms. I won’t go into our list but it was a nice collection we had hoped to pass to our sons.
We did make it out with a few , my Kahr PM 9 my Kahr P380, my beloved XD9, my husbands Kahr PM 9, one of our XD45′s and one XDs. My Springfield 1911 was down at a friends house so it was saved- but my hubby’s was not. We had matching pistols of all the above miraculously my husbands grandpa’s single shot 12 gauges came out unscathed!
Of course all the ammo except what we had in the mags with us was lost.
It was quite the fireworks.
Thank you again for the love and support you have shown. You will never know what it means to us.
A Girl,
I’m so sorry to hear about your friends, please convey to them we have them in our prayers.
Thank you Sandy. You are sweet to take the time out of your day to pray for their family.
DO they have need of a crib? We have an extra left over from our foster parenting. She would need to get a mattress for it, but we can get that to her pretty easy if there is a need for one.
Let me check. I will get back to you!!
I assume there’s a Wally World in their area?
Yes. indeed!

A friend lost her home to fire last summer, including all the firearms (many antiques), ammo, and reloading supplies. Fortunately, her son in law is an insurance underwriter and had recently rewritten her policy. Something I was not aware of, is that if you have firearms, you should insure them on something called a “rider”. Much more insurance is available by doing it that way. Also, you might want to store some firearms off site. Watching our friend go through this has been eye opening for us as well. Hope everything ends up ok for your friends. At least, they all got out safely.
Tricia, so sorry to hear about your friend’s house. Can not imagine.
Good point about the rider. We have one for several different items.
And yes, thankfully everyone got out unharmed!!!!!!!!!!!!
Truly sad, but thankfully all of THEM made it out!
